Hi Raj, you might want to try over on http://www.arbitrationjustice.com. Lots of info there, and there’s also a forum where others with arbitration cases have been sharing their experience. Good luck.

I received an arbitration claim from the National Arbitration Forum on behalf of Asset Acceptance LLC (MBNA – original creditor) for a 5 and half years old debt (June 2003). I have no idea as to what is the best option at this point. The claim says I need to respond within 30 days or else an award will be given to the claimant which is enforceable in a regular civil court. I want to avoid going to court.

At this point, is it advisable for me to contact Asset Acceptance LLC directly and negotiate to settle the debt and ask them to cease the arbitration process? Or if I hire a lawyer what kind of fees will I be looking at for a $5000 debt claim?

NAF is a lawless arbitration, they basically invented themselves & their rules. I say rules because they are lawless. Their biggest customers are debt buyers wolpoff & abramson. NAF can obtain Jmt on you w/o your even showing up to the arbitration.
That means a jmt on any prpoerty you own, unauthorized payroll & bank garnishmernts,
interest rates at the defaulted rate, atty fees, court costs…ect…

Thing I dont unserstand is if the Taxpayer is having to pay for the bank failures..why are the consumers then sued? doesnt that mean the debt is paid twice?
Once thru taxation of taxpayers & then thru garnishment of the consumer?
Do the taxpayers get a refund on all debts collected thats been returned to the original creditor , citi, chase, ford motor credit, crysler? Because as a former debt collector of the banks & auto industries “they” get the money collected
The collection lawfirms only get 10-30% and 90 to 70% is sent to the original creditor.
They should only have it one way …collect it from the consumer who defaulted of from taxpayers…otherwise its double collected. That gestapo theift in the highest form against taxpayers & consumers!!

To All:

Check under Debt Collection in U.S.C. Title 28. Know what is earnings. Are excluded to discharge a debt. Only “substantive nonexempt interest” can be used. In other words the interest from your earnings. Non other!

I am coming up on my appeal to over-turn the NAF’s Award. The court confirmed it, W&A has been successful in pretty much getting my case-law citations over-looked and stricken, or not the correct law. Their case-law is not on target, waltzes around the facts and truth. I was under the impression that anything they alleged or claimed had to be backed up with documentation. They claim I defaulted on payments, no figures to prove it, no records from bank. I have copies of their submission to NAF, but see nothing of mine ( which was a request to dismiss, on lack of jurisdiction & objection to arb.) Am I entitled to see what evidence was viewed for me, that W&A’s superceeded or was better? W&A, disregarded my letters to them about an unresolved dispute via cert.mail with RRC. So they received my letters (stamped & sometimes dated). What can I use to expose their many violations, and disregard for law and proceedure. I have shot myself in the foot on a couple items, very minor compared to the misleading arguments they’ve spewed. HELP!!!

Does any lawyer know how to fight a judgment from MBNA through NAF? Details: 4 years ago. $30,000.00 plus 10% per year. State: CA Please–I do not need a pat on the back, but would like hear from “someone in the know” about fighting this, or future retroactive legislation that might alleviate my burden. Only respond if you know what you are talking about. I feel
sorry for anyone who has gone through this. Am willing to pay for good advise-After all this-I could probably pass the
bar, but if their is something i’m missing please inforn me-I will compensate you. Thanks
